TSC has introduced an upgraded version to the long standing and popular TTP-2410 Pro printer. Significantly boosting both print quality and print speeds, the new TSC TTP-2410MT is loaded with enough surplus memory to mass produce even the highest resolution labels!

Now that’s smart!

Altrincham, UK 8th December 2014: Maxatec is proud to announce that the company has been awarded TSC’s highest accolade for achieving the highest growth across the printer manufacturer’s EMEA distribution channel.

Ben Morrison, Sales Manager UK & Ireland, TSC Auto ID Technology EMEA, said: “A big thank you to Maxatec for their efforts in achieving the coveted award of the Fastest Growing Distribution Partner in EMEA at our recent Partner Meeting in Barcelona. The team at Maxatec have displayed a consistent level performance throughout 2014 which has driven fantastic growth for both our companies. As TSC continues its efforts to enable its network of channel partners to offer industry leading solutions in both specification and value for money, the fantastic service and support offered by Maxatec is invaluable.”

Steve Berry, Director, Maxatec commented: “A growing number of professional resellers in the UK and Ireland are already enjoying the benefits of working with Maxatec. Our customers have come to appreciate the value added services, technical know-how and world-class support we provide with every sale. This comprehensive after sales package comes from our 40 years in the printer industry. With such solid credentials resellers can trust Maxatec to help their business succeed.”

Berry continued: “Whether for the industrial environment, desktop or for mobile applications, TSC have a rugged, reliable, cost-effective thermal printing solution. The diverse product range includes the new TDP324W and the wide-format printer TTP384M. The TDP-324W is a high-performance wristband printer without costly consumable ties. Unlike other 300 dpi wristband printers, the TSC TDP-324W does not restrict you to buying media cartridges and wristbands from a single manufacturer. The TTP-384M is a high performance wide-format printer without a costly sting in the tail. The affordable and easy-to-use 300 dpi TTP-384M wide-format printer accommodates label widths up to 9.5 inches, with a maximum print width up to 8.64 inches.”

Nigel Hoppitt, CEO of SPAsoft, says, “The Arbor unit gives us a robust and usable PDA that is highly suited to the brewing industry. The device incorporates an integrated 1D barcode scanner, superb colour LCD screen offering both clarity and touch capability, quad-core processing power we need for our software and BMS functionality, heavy duty casing, wireless charging and GPS. This all comes at a very competitive price enabling our customers to buy it outright if they wish. Feedback shows that they like the device and they recognise that it will improve their efficiencies and profitability.”

SPAsoft has integrated the device with its BMS-PDA Android app as part of the company’s innovative delivery and collection module using WiFi connectivity. The system improves delivery and collection efficiency using the barcode scanner and GPS features, with useful data shown on the clear display. The mobile solution is currently being used by draymen delivering and collecting casks and kegs to and from pubs across the UK. Draymen typically collect up to 100 casks a day, and the system enables efficiency improvements and easy expansion without adding cost.

“From a purely work efficiency point of view, the mobile solution improves vehicle routing while reducing transport cost, it eliminates the manual process of scanning delivery notes and invoices to send back to the customer. Scanning empty casks onto the dray improves the rate of collection and removes the need to scan them back at the brewery. We have also improved delivery accuracy, because the brewery delivers the correct goods to each customer.

“Brewery customers are also experiencing greater satisfaction with services because they benefit from the efficiency improvements too, they get instant electronic proof of delivery and have an alternative means of payment made easy using the payment app. They also benefit from seeing their empty casks being collected more regularly,” adds Nigel Hoppitt.

The cradle comes with full I/O ports, such as USB, DB-9 and Ethernet, to facilitate connection to peripherals, such as a printer or a cash drawer. For vehicle applications, the G0975 comes with an optional GPS module and VESA-compliant vehicle mounting cradle.
